The 567 Center for Renewal, Inc. — Attraction in Macon

This is a wonderfully curated gallery, although most of my experiences there have been taking various workshops/classes, including ceramics, watercolors, stained glass, and hot glass; they've all been a joy. I've done 90-minute classes and multi-week courses, with a variety of instructors, alone and with friends, and they've all been valuable experiences. All the instructors have been knowledgeable, personable, and inspiring.

You will have problems lol). I could see growth in both of our work as we progressed. We both enjoyed it a lot & will be returning. Very low key. Very calming. Very artsy....

I took a pottery class along with a few of my girlfriends and we had an amazing time. The instructor, Johnnie was wonderful, so pleasant, and very patient. We made a coil pot and 2 beer steins. The class was supposed to be 2 hours but the atmosphere was very relaxed and we were able to take as much time we needed. A couple of girls in our group don't have a lot of art experience and Johnnie was very kind and was always available to help. We were also allowed to go down the street to the brewery and bring back drinks. I will definitely be back for more classes and events. This was my first time and I thoroughly enjoyed...
